It seems my samples did not get through; it's probably obvious but my first
attempt stripped down:
success source="good.wav"
fail source="good.wav"
which yielded no sounds at all; other samples
success source="good.wav" duration="1"
fail source="good.wav" duration="1000"
which caused the infinite loops
